Georgia Power has announced it's moving to close all ash ponds associated with its power generation across Georgia.

There are two ash ponds at Plant Scherer in Juliette and Plant Branch at Lake Sinclaire in Milledgeville.

According to a news release, the Georgia Chamber of Commerce has decided to support this decision.

"Georgia Power has a long and distinguised history of delivering high quality, safe and reliable and affordable energy supplies to businesses, industries and communities across the state and this decision exemplifies that tradition, Chris Clark, the CEO and president of the Georgia Chamber, said in a statement.

A suspect in a shooting at the intersection of Prichard Street and North Elbert Street in Milledgeville was arrested Monday.

According to a news release from the Milledgeville Police Department, Terrance Simmons and four other men were standing in front of a home on North Elbert Street in the Graham Homes area, known as Boddie Projects wearing colors associated with the Boddie Project Bloods gang.

Simmons refused to be patted down after the other four were searched. An officer saw a firearm sticking out of Simmon's shirt. He took the firearm, grabbed Simmons and arrested him.

Simmons is being charged with willful obstruction of law enforcement, use of firearm by a convicted felon, criminal street gang activity and theft by receiving stolen property.

The release also states Simmons has no current connection to other recent shootings.

Two shootings in Milledgeville happened on Monday night according to a press release from the Milledgeville Police Department.

A man was treated for a gunshot wound on his hand Monday night. That's after Milledgeville Police responded to shots being fired near Wray Homes.

A press release from the Police Department says witnesses told police a male on foot fired at a brown Lincoln at the corner of Thomas Street and West Thomas Court. They told police the car and the shooter then left the area.

Later, the brown Lincoln was stopped by a Georgia College and State University police officer. One of the people in that car had been dropped off at Oconee Regional Medical Center where he was treated for the gunshot wound on his hand.
